Roarington's Christmas Gift Ideas 1: Models & Creativity. A Holiday Season Without Getting Bored

With Christmas around the corner and plenty of gifts still to choose for friends and family, Roarington kicks off a series of ideas for automotive enthusiasts. These ideas cater to all ages, kids and adults alike. Let's start with a clever concept: transforming advent calendars into a game that allows you to build a 1:43 scale car model, piece by piece, day by day. The kit includes the model’s parts and even a diorama base with engine sounds. Incredible!

Created by German company Franzis in collaboration with top German car brands, there’s something for every taste and budget. One of the priciest options is the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 advent calendar, available on Porsche's official store for €119.95. What a thrilling way to count down to Christmas!

The Porsche advent calendar lets you build the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 day by day.

Next, there’s the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, offered for approximately €60.

Christmas is traditionally spent with family. Instead of playing bingo or board games, why not build a miniature car together? Lego offers various detailed and exciting car models.

The Lego Icons series includes cars like the Porsche 911, priced at €169.99. This model can be built in two configurations: Turbo Look with the iconic rear wing or Targa for an open-air feel.

For movie buffs, there are iconic cars like the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters (€239.99) and the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future (€199.99).

Among film-inspired cars is the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters.

More challenging to find, as it’s sold out on the Lego website, is James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5. It includes all the famous gadgets like an ejector seat, interchangeable license plates, and a rear shield for bullet protection.

The famous James Bond Aston Martin DB5 is no longer available on the official Lego store but can still be found elsewhere.
